I now belong to the original, accept-no-substitutes, church founded by Christ (the Roman Catholic one). RC's still very much do prison ministry. I live about twelve miles from one of Washington states women's prison facilities, and folks from my congregation are there on a regular basis.
What these poor mis-led souls need to understand is that no matter how bad they have been, or what they have done, God loves them. He loves them more than society does, and more than they love themselves. Some get the message and turn their lives around.
Hey, if you authentically worship Christ in the Roman Catholic community, that’s sure better than not worshiping at all. I believe I remember a time on FR you were agnostic if not atheistic? If so, this is a great improvement. I’m cheered to hear about it.
However. A caution. The “genuine accept no substitutes” church won’t save and perfect you. That is mere men. Only Christ will save and perfect you. This is a point the good Lord had to make by causing the reformation churches to bud off, using the witness of the founding Christians, a witness more commonly known today as the Bible, as their connection to the body. If you are a believer in Christ (not other people) to effect the salvation of your eternal life, we are in fact in the same body, and the definitive reconciliation will be seen in eternity if not on earth.
God bless you. God bless the baby, but by all means drain the bath water.
